From the supplier: The Rev Jimmy Allen has only praise for the media as it covered his family's years-long tragedy. A Southern Baptist minister, he discovered that his son Scott's wife and his two grandsons acquired HIV from a transfusion, and that his other son Skip, a gay man, was also HIV-positive. Scott, also a Southern Baptist minister, was fired from his church, and other churches would not allow the grandchildren to attend church school. The media respected Allen's wishes to postpone the story's release, and treated him professionally.
